The maligned I-35 flyover ramp to US 30 at Ames is so messed up it may not open until next year. The Iowa State Daily has the story on the DOT acknowledging the delay. A couple weeks ago news came out that the contractor had miscalculated on crucial steps and already-completed work would have to be redone.
Considering there is no good way to have construction going on during football weekends — and possibly also the first week of college — there’s some days knocked out there.
The Daily also reports the contractor will eat the additional costs — and didn’t return request for comment.
